he joins us from libya. gadhafi told a radio program that he, and i quote here, "will find the rebels in their closets." and he's vowed to retake benghazi. tell us about your conversation with his son. >> reporter: well, his son was quite -- the conversation was bizarre. it came literally as a u.n. city council was hearing the last thoughts from different nations minutes before the vote came. what i was told was that the gadhafi regime would change its tactics, that they would no longer prosecute a heavy military offensive. that the army would merely surround benghazi, the army wouldn't go into the city, their heavy weapons wouldn't be used. the army, in fact, would help civilians who were trying to leave benghazi, fleeing in fear, he said, of a possible assault. he said what government would do would be to sends in police and special forces if it's the deal from, as he called them, the terrorists. it seemed to be last-minute brinksmanship and change in tactics. we heard from the deputy foreign minister here

first in this case robertson joins us. my question -- nic robertson joins us. my question -- are gadhafi's troops showing any signs of cracking under the four-day assault that we have waged against them? >> reporter: from what we're seeing here in tripoli, the answer seems to be no. from the reports that we get from coalition and from opposition forces in misurata, the answer also appears to be no. from the town in the east of the country where there's been reports of fighting in the city between rebels and the government, the answer there seems to be no. coalition commanders had yesterday said they thought they were having some impact in persuading gadhafi's forces it wasn't worth fighting. we talked to naval officers today at a naval facility that was targeted overnight last night. they also told us they wouldn't -- they wouldn't be about to back down. >> what i gather from what you're saying is that even though we have established this no-fly zone that is the centerpiece of our military strategy, it has not been effective in preventing either the continued a

>> i think the mandate is go after the tanks that gadhafi is using. with respect to something like serta, they're going to have to talk to the people in serte want. it doesn't have to be resolved by guns. if think cannot reach that dialogue, what does the coalition then do? it's mandate is to stop the violence. does it shoot on the opposition? if the opposition has picked up tanks and rifles and they are using them against civilians which are pro gadhafi, does the coalition have a resolution to stop them? >> i don't think they're going to do that. they have already pulled back and they don't want to cross that line. i think the opposition is going to be very careful about this. what the opposition would like to see is, they would like to see the coalition tighten the noose on gadhafi. they'll find a way to bypass and get to misrata. they'll try to put their coalition where they don't have to act against the bulk of gadhafi forces. >> i want to bring something else down, you were the nato supreme allied commander, when you look at a map like this, you
